So apparently my parents claimed me as dependent even though I haven't lived with them for 6 years and they no longer financially support me. On the IRS website I filed my return through the 1040 form in the Non-Filer section, and I left the "someone can claim you as a dependent" box unchecked. My return was then accepted by IRS but they still apparently "haven't determined my eligibility for the payment" and I've also been getting the "payment status not available" message. It's already been 8 days since the IRS accepted my return, and I just want to know if I have any chance of getting my stimulus payment.

I’m 22 and I filed my tax return by myself on the IRS website at the non-filer section for stimulus payments.

are you a full time student in 2019 or not?

why did you file at the non-filer website if you filed taxes?

Most likely your social will register under dependent and you won't get one. And by not checking that box, you are committing fraud by lying to the government. If you get a check you are not entitled to and the IRS finds out, you will have to pay the money back.

I’m not committing fraud. I’ve checked the requirements for when a parent can claim someone as their dependent, and I don’t fit the criteria. As I stated before I have not lived with them for 6 years and they don’t pay my living expenses. Which is why it is confusing when I asked them if I’m claimed as dependent and they said I am.
